Any member of the college community, whom the assault victim believes can address a complaint of sexual assault or rape, is required to report the incident to the Dean for Student Services for statistical purposes. The date and the time of day of the incident are reported. The name of the victim and the alleged assailant are withheld as well as incident details, unless the victim/survivor specifically authorizes the release of that information.

The College recognizes the seriousness and complexity of a survivor’s response to the trauma of sexual assault or rape. Our primary concern is the well being of the survivor and our services are intended to provide respectful and timely support. It is essential that the survivor understand available options and is encouraged to obtain assistance.
